I've been a bit lax about blogging recently. Sorry.
Mostly because there hasn't been much going on since I got back from my parents. This week in particular has been not a lot of fun - I had to see a doctor on Monday (to be examined for a report, relating to the RTA I was in last May), then on Tuesday I had to see the dentist, for a regulat checkup. That made be nervous - I have always been scared of dentists - weak teeth + a heavy-handed and impatient dentist as a child, made worse by an incompetent dentist and some root canal work as a student, but I have to say my current dentist is very nice. Having (touch wood) now not had any problems for several years, I am gradually getting better at not panicking.
I didn't get given a sticker to say I had well cared-for teeth, or that I was good at the dentist, though. Most unfair. The 7 year old ahead of me did, and I thought age-discrimination was supposed to be illegal now! But I am over it now. Honest.
I am disappointed about this weekend. I have a ticket for Bill Bailey's solo show, in London this sunday, but I now don't see how I can go. My original plan was to go, get the last train home (which would be just about do-able, and would get me back home by about 2 a.m), then take Monday morning off work to sleep. Now? It seems I shall have to be in court on Monday morning, and I just don't think it will be practical. *sigh*.
Next week should be more fun, however, at least once I get to Wednesday. (Tuesday, I have partners meetings and reviews at work) On Wednesday, I will be going to see Bitter Ruin in Bath, with Cheryl, then on Thursday I am going to see Twelfth Night. I'm looking forward lots to both.
And until then, I have a copy of Stories with a new story from Neil Gaiman, and one from daian Wynne Jones, and one from Joe Hill, and a whole lot of others, so I'm happy.

Could you maybe go, but sneak out slightly early to get home in time for a decent night's sleep?
Or stay overnight somewhere and head straight to court in the morning?
Sorry they didn't give you a sticker! I've had a similar lifelong phobia of dentists... got a Wall-E sticker from mine for being brave about getting much-needed root canal work done!
I did consdier those, but I don't think it is practical - the cost mounts up too much. I think I shall have to grit my teeth and find someone else who can use the ticket. *sigh*
We dental-phobes must stick together! I didn't get a sticker for my root canal, either, although I did get intravenous valium, which was possibly more help at the time (although left me determined never to touch valium in any shape or form again..)
